This is one of the most concise and well explained videos I've seen describing not only what El Niño is, but what it does for the world. I knew it impacted global weather patterns, but I hadn't heard about how the rainfall condensation causes waves of high and low pressure throughout the rest of the atmosphere. Great work showcasing some really cool atmospheric science!

I first came across this channel a few years ago through the PhD vlogs, and it's amazing that I am now doing a PhD in ENSO and watching this !!!

@airplanes_aren.t_real

This would be very useful.... 3 months ago when it showed up in my test

Best nebula ad yet 🎉

@tuktuk6090

Thanks for this video. In Alberta, Canada, our winter has been alarmingly warm this year so far (-5 to +10°C range) and I’ve heard so many people use “El Niño” as a way to dismiss anthropogenic climate change as a factor in the lack of cold weather. 
However, I don’t know much about El Niño/La Niña and I look forward to watching :>

@prosandcons-fl2cc

Ive had questions about this topic for a while, Thanks Simon!

@davieb8216

Good timing, we are in el nino at the moment but just had a meter of rain just the other day in Australia.

@cabthegreat87

Ever thought of making a video of South-East Asian weather and how it is influenced by climate change? It is a pretty densely populated region with the Phillippines and the East of Asia constantly getting smashed by hurricanes, the monsoons influencing historical trade routes and such. After all us South-east Asians don't get a lot of airtime outside of the volcanoes and the tsunami.

@TheDanEdwards

NOAA/TAO used to have a neat web page with a graphic that showed an animation of the vertical temp profile in the equatorial Pacific, which allowed one to see how the warmer water circulated in depth.  People all too often only think of the surface of the ocean but ocean circulation is three dimensional.  A few years ago that NOAA web page disappeared, sadly.

I’ve always wanted to know more about El Nino, but never got around to it. Thanks for this video! I’d be interested in learning more about global weather systems. :)

@CWM31P

Great video! Very easy to understand. I would love to learn more on Teleconnections and different cycles AMOC, PDO, etc.

@superstormthunder3

El Niño has a big impact here in the United States. Typical El Niño makes winters warmer and drier in the northern US and colder and wetter than average in the southern US. Here in my home state of NJ we get warmer overall but we stronger Nor’easters so bigger snowstorms. It also makes Hurricane season in the Atlantic less active by increasing wind shear because a persistent high pressure forms over the Atlantic causing sinking air and higher winds aloft increases it.

@SisterSunny

THANK YOU. FINALLY. I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID HL GEOGRAPHY IN IB AND /STILL/ NEVER PROPERLY LEARNT WHAT THE EL NIÑO WAS.

@Andrew_Lane_Gordon

This comment is for engagement! Hope more people get your videos recommended!

@sergiop753

Either you read my comment on your last video or I got lucky! Thanks for exaplining this, and I look forward to more videos like this.

@tamasmatyasgal5629

I like the citations! it makes more the vid more well-founded.

“I accepted to come to this meeting to have a sober and mature conversation. I’m not in any way signing up to any discussion that is alarmist. There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5C.”

Seems more and more likely, scenario SSP5-8.5 of the IPCC assessment may come to fruition (or at least the higher end of the spectrum). I say enjoy what you can, while you still can; pity the generations to come.

@LucasCarter2

I’m sorry Simon, did you just say you’re effectively a founding member of nebula? Damn that’s cool.

@David34981

Again one for the algorithm Simon

@rflxPoint

Fantastic vid! I've always been confused about the El Nino and La Nina states, less so though after watching it.

(Also that shirt is fantastic!)
